Bodhi Romance??? Also, "Synsilliuviarian?"

Hey guys, I have never been able to find an answer to this. When I first played BG II back in like 2001 (lol), I rolled a Lawful Good fighter and started down the path of romancing Aerie.
Here's where it gets crazy. When I got to Bodhi's Lair, (almost certain I allied with Shadow Thieves), she went from treating me like an enemy to trying to seduce me. I being a teenager was intrigued by this and so unfolded a naughty plot line where she offered to take me to bed because I had godlike warrior strength and she wanted my spawn (or something like this).
So, she took me to her bedroom and it was implied the deed was done. Immediately after, Aerie broke up with me (and may have left the party, can't remember).
I remember this being so crazy/unexpected and honestly kinda hot, that years after I tried to find if anyone else ever had this happened. Never seen anyone say they have.
Anyone have any idea how to track this down?
Also, another question that I can't seem to find an answer to: there was some part of the game with lizard like creatures, and a super creepy one came up to the party and introduced himself, and I'll never forget his name (the voice actor pronounced it): Synsilliuviarian. Such a cool name, I never forgot it. But I can't seem to find that character or moment anywhere.
What in the world??

There was no way I was playing a mod, because I was a 12 year old kid in 2001- game had just come out and I had no wherewithal to download any expansions or anything.
So it looks like it wasn't Bodhi, but as masteraleph said, I probably confused her with Phaere... Thanks man!
As far as Synsilliuviarian, pretty sure he was Yuan-ti, and in a big dark cavernous place toward the end of the game. Like I said, he had some voiced dialogue and spoke his name. I've looked at encyclopedias and monster lists and npc lists and nothing mentions him. So odd...
The shadow dragon's arena ... that does fit pretty well as a "big dark cavernous place". It's more of an abandoned temple feeling if you look closely at it, but it's certainly big and dark.
OK, the EE has a named yuan-ti "Borok-Tosst" in Hexxat's quest. But that's new content, which didn't exist in 2001.
Dark cavernous place with reptile creatures might be a memory from NWN Original Campaign, might have been one of the Old Ones, but the name?
Maybe if it's a very old memory you mixed up some stuff?
"Ta'risslysa, ss'uri. Ssivilis y russyla!"
Thanks for the reply- close for sure but I went and checked a clip of that and that's not what I remember.
I remember this dude being the only one in a big, dark room- almost pitch black. He was either just standing there alone (creepily), or walked up out of the darkness (also creepy). Wish I could remember what area/dungeon but I have no idea.
That sounds to me like it could be the final battle with Morag in the original campaign in Neverwinter Nights.
She appears in this video at 45.30
Thanks brother- similar feel but not what I'm remembering. I'm about 95% sure it was in the original Balder's Gate II, not any other game or expansion.
Checked both of those out- close but not what I'm remembering. Im beginning to think my whole memory is a fabrication, because surely someone would have remembered this by now.
I remember that level being like deep, deep shadow- as if there was NO light at all except little spots barely lit at all- like one candle's worth of light. And you wandered through a LOT of this. So the feeling was wandering through endless darkness- like pitch black except for a few spots- very creepy. And it was quiet- not a lot of monsters at all. Big rooms..
Who knows, maybe I dreamed this all up, lol. But I remember him saying "I am Synsilliuviarian." and me thinking "that name is nuts, and he just pronounced it like nothing." Understated stuff like that is cool and striking, and it struck me as a great moment in the game.
By the way, I don't think I fought him, so I remember him as just an NPC that talks to you.
You should start up your own company and make this game. I'd buy it. Take my ? now!
Hahahahahaha
Yep we sorted the Phaere thing out- that's what I was remembering.
I think you're right about the Underdark too- I just took a look at all of the dungeons and that one looks closest..
By the way, I'm not positive on the spelling of "Synsilliuviarian"- could be about 10 different variations of that.
Sweet-- Could you point me to that thread?

Pretty sure it's not him, though the name does sound somewhat similar. And Svirfneblin isn't it either. thanks though dudes
So there isn't a snake-ish race of characters that speak with lotssss of "s's?"
There is in Icewind Dale, but not either Baldur's Gate.
